title: [Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis of the mandible. Apropos of a case followed for more than 10 years].
abstract: Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (DSO) is a well-known chronic osseous disease. However, the diagnosis can be difficult as it has been observed for a case which is presented with more than 10 years survey. The clinical, radiographic, scintigraphic, histologic and bacteriologic aspects are discussed. The treatment can be made by various medical or surgical methods. None of these is completely efficient, even if good results could be observed in some cases. The prognosis seem to be at least uncertain. The real etiology is probably infection, but has never been proved.
